I Fought The Law - Any version but we'll say The Clash
If we are doing songs about breaking the law through sexual deviancy I win and it's not even fucking close. Crimes: sodomy, assault, pegging. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sGqITiXK42M
I started as an altar boy working at the church Learning all my holy moves doing some research Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund" I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cummerbund I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store Laying tactless stripping and housewives by the score I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane Auctioned off every last Naugahyde divan I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross [CHORUS] I'm, intruder in the dirt I like to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt I'm, take a look at me I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history Of course I went to law school and got a law degree And counseled all my clients to plead insanity Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called Then on to Monte Carlo play chemin de fer I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair I put my last few francs down on a prostitute Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig? Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide Looking through the want ads sipping Foster's in the shade I opened up an agency somewhere down the line To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot [CHORUS] I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals See you in the next life, wake me up for meals
Lively, lively, lively, lively, lively Let this world survive, survive me Been there for long time Ya, I'm headin' back Love my life thats why I'm livin' like that Know how to move Know when to stay Know how to get shit out of my way What is my message? Well that will be law Comin to you from above Word
I got fifteen felonies I got twenty three misdemeanors I got APB's from Anchorage all the way down to cleveland A million dollar reward They want me alive or dead They gonna put three in my body Gonna put three in my head
Up against the wall Snipers on the roof Thought I was a gonner baby I'm bullet proof yeah Up against the wall Snipers on the roof Thought I was a gonner baby I'm bullet proof, yeah
Put the searchlights on me A hundred hound dogs on my trail And I'll skip the state like Jesse James Tennessee law man on my tail The helicopters circle Like vultures in the midday sun I swear to God I got the motherfuckin' government in the sights Oh my God well, go
Up against the wall Snipers on the roof Thought I was a gonner baby I'm bullet proof yeah Up against the wall Snipers on the roof Thought I was a gonner baby I'm bullet proof
Grease me, prime me, release me, survive me Step back look at this light before it blinds me Been there a long time won't go back Love my life guess I'm livin like that, who I take a vibe and I will take it much stronger Got my life to live and I won't be here much longer No 'morrow Know the way that I walk is the way that I talk Is the truth, I'm bullet proof
I got fifteen felonies I got twenty three misdemeanors I got APB's from Anchorage all the way down to cleveland They got me Up against the wall Snipers on the roof Thought I was a gonner baby I'm bullet proof yeah Up against the wall Snipers on the roof Thought I was a gonner baby I'm bullet proof, yeah
They got me up against the wall, yeah Up against the wall Up against the wall You mutha fucka get Up against the wall
Ride ride on Keep on rolling till The wheels come off
May your shackles fall like Feathers from your ankles May your captors be caught in Your headlights May the mechanics of the Lord Make your engines roll and roar On your long day's journey into the night
Ride ride on Keep on rolling till The wheels come off
We have walked to The end of nowhere We have been walking since The beginning of time Like the Bedouin we have Walked the immeasurable desert We have always walked with the wind behind
Don't stop no walking Brixton Merthyr Tydfil Manchester Mogadishu Glasgow Tblisi Bogota Detroit
Who the fuck is John Sinclair?
Ride ride on Keep on rolling till The wheels come off Ride ride on
There I was completely wasted, out of work and down All inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die So I might as well begin to put some action in my life
Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
So much for the golden future I can't even start I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too
Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
